No shit. And you’re certainly doing a lot to tackle ageism, by refusing to come to terms with your own ageing.
Instead you just buy a new face every few years.
Anne Robinson has spoken of the difficulties female presenters face in the television industry.
In an interview with the Radio Times, the 64-year-old said: “I’m quite pragmatic. If there was a lovely blonde with huge breasts and long legs who had my experience and wit, I’d be out of a job.”
Robinson, who is returning to present the BBC consumer show ‘Watchdog’, continued: “I think all television is sexist and ageist.”
But Robinson also said she felt that younger women working in television had better career prospects than men of a similar age in the UK.
“There are a lot of pretty young things with not much talent appearing on television here, and I don’t think that young guys who are not as attractive would get those gigs,” she said.
